about my practice
where will your journey lead?
Relief :: Bodywork can provide relief after an acute injury or an especially stressful week. Or, if you've
taken up a new activity or are in the midst of a life transition, a
bodywork session can be both balancing and renewing.
Healing
& Prevention ::
Lasting healing and improved wellness are benefits of making regular
bodywork a part of your life. If you choose continued treatment, we can
thoroughly treat chronic pain and deeply ingrained patterns of overuse,
address new issues as they arise, prevent injury and pain patterns from
developing, and manage stress. Regular bodywork can also enhance your
nervous, circulatory and immune system function.
Transformation :: If you choose regular bodywork as a life practice, it
becomes a process that fosters enhanced vitality and dynamic personal growth. Increased body awareness, mindfulness and deeper levels of healing are added benefits.
what comforts will you enjoy?
Your
bodywork session is held in a safe, sacred space, where I support you in
finding comfort, peace, and rest. My studio is tucked away at the end of the hall at our sweet little wellness center.
When you arrive you'll enjoy a cozy heated table and soft organic cotton linens. I use organic massage cream and each session is customized, if you choose, with the benefits of pure essential oils, and soothing heat packs and eye pillows--at no extra cost.

your neighborhood wellness center
On the convenient,
friendly corner of 48th Street and Chicago Ave. South, with its great
places to eat, shop and explore, you will find the Shenandoah Wellness
Center. Here, a diversity of independent practitioners are gathered to address
your needs for healing, balance, and transformation--inside and out.
Find out more about the Center's other practitioners at: www.shenandoahwellnesscenter.com.
The
building is designed with the planet in mind. Low VOC paint in natural
tones, cork and bamboo flooring, and low-flow toilets are just some of
the features that have been mindfully implemented. Detailed driving directions available here.
a healing space for all
I specifically cultivate safe and healing space for
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered clients. Your
confidentiality, your body and your unique journey are always
honored. I work with many LGBT couples who are pregnant or trying
to conceive. Bodywork offers wonderful support throughout this process.
earth's healing, our healing
I am committed to Earth-honoring practices, and believe this is essential to our health as a human community.
:: I use organic massage lotion, organic cotton linens, and natural detergent
:: I creatively reduce, reuse and recycle paper and other materials
:: I purchase locally-made and locally-sourced products as much as possible
I am committed to creatively integrating other Earth-honoring practices. Your ideas are always welcome!
